I was, like many of you, a big fan of Dolly Parton.
I saw her in concert once, back in Spokane, and she was absolutely amazing—in
her seventies at the time, and all over that stage for an hour and a half, playing the
saxophone, singing, dancing, blonde and beautiful and beaming.
Although I didn’t know Dolly personally, I have always admired her, and I love her
music. She was incredibly generous, providing books for thousands and thousands of
children, and giving to others in countless ways.
My favorite song?
“Coat of Many Colors.”
